via: galactogenic

What is active immunity?

animals response to pathogens and immunity resulting from exposure

1. nutrition

2. stress

What are the 5 elements of non-specific immunity?

1. species resistance

2. mechanical/chemical barrier

3. inflammatory response

4. interferons

5. complement

What is the difference between "Interferon and Complement"?

Similarities: Both are involved with non-specific immunity. Both part of the 5 elements.

The are both chemically produced by cells invaded by viruses.

Differences:

Interferon: substance that interferes with the viruses repication within the host cell. The interferon will bring about death "inside the cell".

Complement: another enzyme group that is activated during infections. It binds to the cell invading cell wall and creates small holes in its membrane. Rupture or lysis from the inside of the antigen and killing it.
